- Thread starter jasonp
- Start date
c,mom mas,,it would be really nice to see you and i can assure you that you will receive a much warmer welcome then the last place we turned upto on masse!lol,,,regards jason pORIGINAL: ukmastiff Er except you know very well I don't have a 944 anymore , can't see many of you being interested in my small but growing collection of MG ZT's Lol If there had been a small group of folk in to this sort of thing in my area I'd probably still have a 944 TBH. I am quite in to my boys toys days and this is one of the reasons my car time all goes in to the ZT's now. Its much more fun working on your car and more so on your mates cars than standing on your own drive polishing a 944 on your tod hehehe Of course Tea and 'chocolate' is always a good draw []

Hi Jason, Oli If you have room I would like to come along, don't know what knowledge I can bring,unless of course anyone is fitting Spax coilovers []
]It's Jason's party, not mine! Can't imagine he'd say no tho', particularly if you bring along some of those Spax Coilovers to fit to his S2 ... [ORIGINAL: andy watson Hi Jason, Oli If you have room I would like to come along, don't know what knowledge I can bring,unless of course anyone is fitting Spax coilovers [
] Biggest concern of mine at the mo is what the weather will be like. Wall-to-wall sunshine would make for a great day. Oli.

I can solve the issue of getting a barbecue hearth to Epping, so it's all up to the weather. Attendees will need to bring along a couple of house bricks. I have about fifty here left over so we can cobble together and dry build a support for my built in barbecue hearth, which will go in the 944. Bring some Protein (as the Aussies call it) as bricks dont cook well. Typical things I cook on my bb are the three main food groups, fillet, sirloin and rump steak; toms, peppers, mushrooms, carrots, burgers, scallops, and bangers. Fish has to be wrapped in foli as it tends to stick to the griddle if it is a fillet. I confess to never having thrown a whole fish on the grill, but I'll give anything a go. One lettuce leaf between 10 should be enough shouldn't it?

Make it nine for the lettuce I had some last year so ok for a bit[]
]hiya,,just thought i would give this a bump for next sunday,,i am aware a few people have church commitments so i was thinking of 12pm onwards? hope that sounds ok for everyone and looks like the weather could hold! [touching wood!!],,went is the best time to mail my postcode? jasonORIGINAL: zcacogp Whoah - this is getting better and better! Greg, it would be great to meet you. Yes, come along and lend a hand and bring some cake - all are very welcome. (I feel a bit of a fraud saying this as I am inviting people to Jason's party but Jason won't mind, I'm sure!) John, that's an interesting idea. Where would you need that BBQ carted down from? (Where is R19?) Would it go in the boot of a regular 944? It sounds like something that big would probably be more suited to catering for large numbers of people, so would it be do-able with a smaller bit of kit? Having someone knocking up some grub in such a way would give quite a different feel to the day - it would move it on from a grubby day spent twirling spanners to something infinitely more sophisticated. Jason, do you think this would work? (BTW John I do float on water but won't be giving demonstrations on the day. Sorry.) Smiffy, thanks for changing the thread title. Are you coming along? I really think you should ... we may need some moderating during the day and you are an excellent moderator ... [
Thanks for the bump Jason. I'll probably be with you a little after 12.00pm, but I expect people will drift in and out as they choose. I have a job I will do while I am there (changing rear brake disks and pads) but it shouldn't take all afternoon. What jobs do other people want to do and are there any tools anyone will want to borrow? I'm probably going to bring the following; Jack Stands Torque Wrench 3/8inch and 1/4inch socket sets Collection of nuts and bolts Hammer Grease WD40 Screwdrivers Would it make sense to get an idea of jobs other people will be tackling so we can get a bit of a plan for the afternoon? (Or am I being too over-organised about this all and I should shut up? [&:] ) Oli.
thanks oli,,good idea to get what sort of jobs people need to do,,not too concerned about me as mine going in on the monday also any ideas about food,,do we buy it from john b or do i pop to waitrose and get some barbie bits? any guidence warmly welcomed! lol,,i will stock up on cold drinks as well as tea and coffee,,jason pps convoy to ace just up the road when were are finished?

Jason did you say you were going to pm me? Nothing in my inbox! Mind you I had no internet access from about noon Thurday until late Sat evening. New router didn't fix it. Previous system was a brand newwireless router piggy backed on to a cable router, that suddenly went off line, and the new router mysteriously came back on line while I was working in the garden.
wheelbarrow is a no-no,so i think with the help of foresight i have decided to forget about the barbie and keep it simple,,but thanks very much for the offer john. we have a great jewish bakers locally and i can nip off and get fresh "out of the oven" biegals with fillings, ,i will provide tea,coffee,and lots of cold drinks so people can just bring themselves and their spanners,,,cheers jason
